「來，這是您的麵包，粥湯可以去旁邊領取喔。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8k0IMuWsv
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HL6pJHnY9
「真是太感謝妳們了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xztOf3Fyw

「哪裡哪裡，如果身體上有什麼明顯的病痛也請跟我們說，我們會盡力協助您。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMCwAQZes
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XU7nnZ9UP
每周同個時段，我都會和其他幾位修女姊妹提供食物給生活有困難的平民老百姓，其中也包括一些乞丐以及因戰亂而無家可歸之處的難民。我們在〈白城〉的教堂面前搭了一個小棚子，每個貧民或難民除了能領取規定的兩塊麵包以及一碗粥湯之外，我還會順便給有需要的人治病。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A1mG4PR8S
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFufqwhAN8
不過和以往不同的是，今天王子殿下也跟來了。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEPqmm6y2v
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aZrsQa2WX
聽說這是吉莎建議他這麼做的；身為一城之主，他有必要偶爾出面展現親和力，特別是有益於獸族與人類宗教的場合。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2BiD7gQ74
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaA5Jz8sRV
不過為了王子殿下的人身安全著想，四周出現了平時絕對不會有的獸族衛兵。我能夠聽見他們移動時盔甲和武器碰撞造成的金屬聲音。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmKTN7F4x
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyvdGXUmsC
「海倫娜，妳的身體還好嗎？」沒來由地，站在我身旁的王子殿下開口問我問題。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fgdOjovSz
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFfZUrIxld
「殿下怎麼會問我這個問題？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfvZJLYtmo
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrN0yQ0vu
「呃，因、因為......」王子殿下頓了一下，接著以擔憂的口吻喊道：「海倫娜前幾天獨自一人打苦鞭打太猛，連晚上睡覺時都得整晚趴著睡！太讓人擔心了啦！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezAhVEavn
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHHO02NLAr
「哎呀，說起來確實有這麼一回事，我的背到現在還有點痛痛的。」我輕壓了一下肩膀後方的部位，依然感覺得到一絲刺痛。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFMiU6QXVU
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8Q8bxCZU
「所以妳今天就不要發麵包了，好好休息吧。」他說：「把這事交給其他人就行了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIR8TFDKzy
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKbuttJ4b6
「不可以。」我鄭重拒絕道：「只因苦鞭的疼痛放棄幫助人們，我絕對不允許自己這麼做。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQXoCCIEb
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xkCtemlOB
「哈哈，這就是姆姆從來不讓海倫娜修女獨自打苦鞭的原因，她總會打過頭而讓自己痛個半死。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRg4qEWZpV
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeFPGll8BC
一旁，負責煮粥湯的安卡修女以開朗的語調岔話道，她是我在修道院內的好朋友。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIzbVEVPVx
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwW8LoYca
她一知道我選擇出外去幫忙〈白城〉之後，便毅然決然做出同樣的決定，甚至還邀請其他幾位修女一起這麼做。儘管這群修女沒有因此被開除教籍，我猜想她們再也無法回到隱修院了。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQEOnEyKXc
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ083Vug0zH
我感到有些對不起她們......393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItWas6LChd
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXndQ3HfON
「假使再發生這種事情，我以後就不准妳再打苦鞭了。」王子殿下說。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzVDc0aWI0
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxjLGMmtQy
「很抱歉，我做得的確太過頭了點......」我乾咳一聲，有些不好意思道：「我總覺得打苦鞭的時候，似乎快要聯想到什麼極為重要的事物，所以一時間打得太用力了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DaY5kTGXw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rTiuoEk6S
「極為重要的事物？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGcjPVGHB
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJSWURMP1A
「更精準地說，是我嘗試尋找的希望之物。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiI77JiFAw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzkamCkcyE
「打苦鞭和希望之物到底有啥關係呀？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xfERyqqEu
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqsT0X8kT2
「我也不是很明白，但至尊陛下會在適當時機給予我答案。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpbgMrPo0
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXgPlptjl
「又是這種詭異的思考模式......」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gqn4muRW5
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms0QCCs3cF
此時，我聽到更多貧民們走上前的腳步聲，因而將擺在桌上的麵包遞給他們。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lCjqZsG7W
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Ngy1sonw
「謝謝妳呀，海倫娜修女。」其中一人這麼說道：「妳真是我們的天使。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZJbBP78F
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7xOsZ4nyS
即使看不見對方，我仍報以一抹微笑。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H7K1qVGEk
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEklhc3DVr
「話又說回來，這麵包怎麼嚐起來怪怪的。」殿下忽然說。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD71u0gL8m
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lSQsDrqHj
「殿下，您怎麼吃起用來分送的麵包呢？」我輕聲斥責他。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFk7quru1i
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhJaFz02q8
「因為超無聊的嘛。我站在這邊對民眾微笑笑得嘴都快裂開，雙腳也站酸痛得要命，吃一小塊麵包不為過吧？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tVcfBz9PM
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wbRHAHVln
「這是用稻米粉摻進麵粉裡製作出的麵包，吃起來的口感與普通麵包略有不同。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BqZ1xxPKZ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKx95LmZd
「咦，妳們幹嘛這樣做啊！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf5Grp9JXN
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D4GvkHKZo
「如此一來就不需要使用太多麵粉，也能夠做出同等量的麵包分發給民眾。殿下您其實從獸族帝國帶來不少米飯與稻米，但大多數人吃不慣這些食物。所以我們就將混合食材做出一般人比較能接受的樣式。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS87m4jzVLC
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebhpHGih89
「難不成這鍋奇怪的粥湯也是如此！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC50umjUfpk
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpSAI2P9x
「沒錯，這一大鍋粥湯是由米粉加上胡蘿蔔、南瓜等蔬菜煮成的，專門用來賑濟平民百姓的食物，營養與份量又足夠。據說這種調理方法當初是從西邊王國的教會傳過來的。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBsUvUDQf7
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Yd1IjvQX
「幹嘛不用普通的小麥或大麥做成麵包就好？難不成教會的糧食不夠嗎？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2p6s9Vsh1
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlryOA8MQX2
「殿下至今才剛統治〈白城〉不久，任何一丁點糧食都該斤斤計較。我們教會也是為了讓人民度過這個戰火綿延的冬天，才決定用這種方式製作發放用食物，以減少普通糧食的開支。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqmfXqDVLd
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHIJK4HjqW
「唔呃，我怎麼覺得自己一點貢獻都沒有呀！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUgU6R4E4x
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPdKdVhFe
我聽見邊說邊王子殿下原地踏步的聲響，以及某種物體不斷呼嘯而過的『呼咻、呼咻』空氣聲。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCiLci2ogG
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfLnuRvcBW
聽起來簡直就像是——393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPCgqBYjsy
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30GwYAJ4RM
「我想到了！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQcV8tSv16
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIrzFppCo5
殿下的高喊頓時打斷我的思緒。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyq6dpv1Xv
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIX689orz6
「等到未來局勢穩定後，我要在〈白城〉內蓋一座公共廚房，每天提供兩餐熱食給有需要的民眾！不論是短居本城的旅人、窮人、資金缺乏的學生等等，任何臣民在我統治下都不會挨餓！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmf2WtEYoo
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRqexg7U9
「無論人類或野獸人嗎？」我問。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDpWL69n9x
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuA8a6HXo6
「沒錯！」殿下回答我：「對於獸族來說睦鄰與好客是高尚的道德表現，特別是分享食物給其他族群。畢竟叫動物分食給其他族群這件事情，幾乎可說是不可能的。因此當我們成為獸族後，大地之母的律法特別強調款待他族的美好。我們有一句古老諺語是這麼說的：一名成功的獸族要有容納四十張桌子的肚量。代表獸族都該有熱情好客的德行。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ql66Mwrto
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxA5026nYD
「那真是太好了，我們人類教會也非常願意協助需要照顧的弱勢。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn5ZiiALcv
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTEBabznD
「只不過，現在我好像幫不上什麼忙耶......」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbfkLDLDwF
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdF5WwWuv
「這樣的話，我倒有個好點子......啊，他們正好來了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkDrUs23ZA
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbGclFVdax
這時候，一陣急促的腳步聲正好啪噠啪噠地傳來。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJWLhco1V
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOatj7aDEx
「海倫娜姐姐、海倫娜姐姐！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdHdjU1Hoo
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGU5iznuDg
「能給我們麵包嗎？拜託！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ18ImyIDaA
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vJZCS1kv4
「麵包！麵包！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH30E5G63eD
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMorZpZriz
隨之在我身邊揚起的，是孩子們一連串的呼喊。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnkFhvC2r
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdBldNlpsN
「海倫娜，他們是......」王子殿下問我。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FMjHCeLux
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48T8O6jBCG
「這些孩子是教會負責照料的孤兒，他們的父母因為各種各樣的原因而不在了。我也是在回到〈白城〉後才認識他們的，有空時常常會講故事給他們聽呢。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROqZYEQMfw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KEIGYE9D
「可是我又不會講故事。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUOKAezIWO
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhiULCftcA
「相對的，殿下卻做得到我所無法辦到的事情。您可以和他們一同玩踢球之類的活動。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL3uzqU4Ck
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRe5kgVRT
「我堂堂一名獸族帝國的王子，幹嘛得去陪小孩子玩耍？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZd3L371Yw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBM7UncWY
「因為殿下和他們的年齡最相近呀。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTebaFEAlgf
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRx0XRjkxm
「這是在拐彎抹角說我還是個小鬼囉。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5gMavXfE5
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynp9GHbSbH
我好似某種呼嚕呼嚕的聲響？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxJxWKl1o
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Uvblxc4w
「殿下剛才不也是非常熱心地想要幫忙嗎？比起站在這無事可做，陪孩子們玩至少有趣多了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOmMEbuvAA
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4fDqitCjE
「是......是沒錯啦......好吧，我這名獸族帝國第五王子，今天就大發慈悲陪人類的幼仔玩耍！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4sEZyUf8K
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZf2U8R0Md
「謝謝您，殿下是個好孩子。」我伸手試探了一下，然後摸了摸王子殿下的頭。他頭頂部位的毛髮的髮質比較粗和結實，不過耳背後方的毛卻意外柔軟。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPbWosIRo3
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyImeScz4HK
當我搓揉他頭頂的時候，我還聽見某種物體不斷呼嘯而過的『呼咻、呼咻』空氣聲。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fXIWfpC9
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMB8b5rX5k
聽起來簡直就像是——393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkhIIJqFGX
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrx4eR8h0
「我不是小孩了啦！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEgrPTkADA
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3jP0jAR1M
殿下的高喊頓時打斷我的思緒。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwDzUXdAHK
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAWW3VK94E
「人類幼仔，我們來玩踢球，我記得你們人類最愛玩踢球了。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog0q558Tru
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5VXYTkZK
緊接著他轉身跑開，伴隨而來的還有一大群孩子們跑開的腳步聲。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC2Gf8qJtd
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmI7bIVJEb
接下來我繼續向民眾發放麵包，或者使用上天賜予我的『禮物』來給人們治療些皮肉傷，但殿下總會不時往我這邊喊道：「不要做太過頭啦！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZ4CccaiK
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f2VT17rCc
呵呵，他真的跟奧絲雅很像呢。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpKzh7ZE8W
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaCQ1wxUZB
過沒多久，殿下似乎已經和小孩子們打成一片了。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrs9jIAuW
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iaiRxIFTQ
「貓哥哥，把球踢過來！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jqW1Vf8Sq
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nDsN7LSb
「貓哥哥好快啊！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JHIAuu3Ep
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrhI8v0Zc
「貓哥哥——」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqC5b7rQ9G
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E43owi5lS
「到底要我講幾遍，我是獅子不是貓！再說你們這群人類幼仔要尊稱我為王子殿下啦！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwTCCqD294
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEz2xVSFF4
「貓哥哥，你的尾巴好長喔，能不能給我們摸一下。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPJlAg9ja
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8iFqL1XKj
「當然不行！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwya8Dgtq3j
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fe7KX8tAj
「哎~~~~~~~~~」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH5l37kBg9
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbstNqJMLKX
「別以為隨便就能摸獸族的尾巴。聽著，對於一名獸族......甚至是貓科獸族來說，尾巴都是極為重要的工具，特別是用來平衡身體——」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubCgEvcGXZ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4p8vekQGQ
「「「哎~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~」」」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENiK6yzjW
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5r8W7WfDW
「......好啦，每個人只能摸一下，而且不能拉扯。聽見沒有？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h3YCyf0OO
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACFnMzvkOx
「「「謝謝獅子殿下！」」」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY73PCfON2J
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymuRzyTiCO
「居然只在這種時候才叫正確！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBHbKfJKCy
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO6J6WE6Ej
儘管嘴巴上這麼抗議著，殿下似乎仍和孩子們玩得不亦樂乎。過了 一段時間後，殿下氣喘吁吁地回到我身旁。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNFuW3VHHt
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce6lGT7KDa
「吼喲，我明明說過只能摸一次的，那些小鬼卻一直猛搓我的尾巴，搓得都快燒起來似的。」他向我抱怨著，尾巴甩動的聲響也不絕於耳。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7xeKqHtXU
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKE6F7lMj
「但是在我聽來，他們都很喜歡您喔。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI91mHqxiG
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbsMGRMJ8J
「這跟那是兩回事，我的尾巴可不是玩具吶。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGVxql7mbi
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQX6KNYYpB
突然間，尾巴劃破空氣的聲音，為我的腦袋內帶來靈光一閃。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi7yowCjXJ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuKq4O8pzU
「原來如此，我知道了！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVnhNtilsb
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjdHw7jknm
「海倫娜，妳怎麼一副豁然開朗的表情了？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlakR87xFOV
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtylqgawsIR
「我知道我心中的希望之物了！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wK3R4VCWp
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmfOncMaFo
「咦，是什麼呢？」殿下問我。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU4nEgvMXJ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWrhYrV55j
「就是『咻咻咻』。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhrGHeE7o
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA40ebPN3b
「嘎？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg5ezLw4Be
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y0nrKwPPi
「有時會變成『啪啪啪』。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQK0oGKc2
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2mxjrkeGi
「啥！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgYqMZABlI
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnEkSPK3M
「就是殿下的尾巴喲。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ydxzC0uY
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTfStBpVBB
這時候王子殿下明顯頓了一下。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdfRAxYQNr
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ihiqXNiA
「尾......尾巴......？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKNECXpYz
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hO1v0IVR
「是的。」我接著說下去：「如同揮舞苦鞭時會發出『咻咻』聲，打中物體時則會發出『啪啪』聲的獅子尾巴。經過這一周的思索後，我發覺自己非常想要摸摸並觸碰殿下的獸尾。不知道這可不可行？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxer06Vi2A
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYDeDzcrf5
「就這樣點小事嗎？」殿下狐疑地問我：「剛剛那些小鬼都摸過了耶。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue19JrWIsz
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPLDHwIfBz
「沒有錯，這是我深思熟慮之後得出的答案；我真心希望的事物。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a6DeEW58g
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GNmxQ5lnq
「如果這真是海倫娜妳要的話，那當然沒問題。但我還是覺得妳可以提出更有......嗯，更有價值的要求。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj6iCdeXNE
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXhC7jwkmq
「不，」我搖搖頭道：「我現在最想要的，就是摸殿下的尾巴。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QVD6LA5Xv
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvVngoUKmg
「姆，我瞭解了。那我就給妳摸吧。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dpnu42TyX
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGqo7xDDKp
我攤開手掌，緊接著就察覺有東西落在我的手心之中。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRPOf95w51
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPfUQEbYpO
「原來......這就是獅子的尾巴呀......」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y8rQ3SCuF
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0HYy5xgE
我一隻手捧著一段尾巴，另一隻手輕輕地撫摸著，那軟綿卻結實的觸感頓時充斥我的手掌心，完全不同於小貓或小狗。而且這根大尾巴彷彿有生命似的，不時會在我的觸摸下左右晃動。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJq2SNs8fX
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40dgUhTlZ
「要輕輕摸喲，因為尾巴是我們獅子獸族最敏感的地方，還是保持平衡、表達情緒的重要部位。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV6BzMOZWf
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyuCkCgwE
「真是個奇妙的部位呢。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixkaYALr6v
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2oHo9tFG5
「是呀，我能將後面的尾巴操作自於，但前面的尾巴最近卻常常不聽使喚。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc72NuIOGu
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrBW5M9EfW
「前面的尾巴？難道殿下有兩根尾巴？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE37TrGrFA6
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVim8Zil7C
「海倫娜，妳沒有嗎？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDZsIIEp0n
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrhystk5By
我搖了搖頭。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhz4WBePk5
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAUrxiS1A
「我也可以摸前面的尾巴嗎？」我問。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Deod7B9xZ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gq9NlujNi
王子殿下猶豫了一下，接著說：「呃，有機會下次再說吧？總覺得哪裡怪怪的......算了。妳看喲，我後面的尾巴能這樣做！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrldjg0cihJ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiv3vUey1U
殿下話音一落，我手中的尾巴消失無蹤。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7dQNRgbX7
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtLLInK4Zu
「呀啊！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISGPw7LdWK
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSlAaSacDD
登時，一陣毛茸茸的觸感滑過我的左臉，然後又在我的右臉輕輕掃弄幾下。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4dJ4SgVf
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrRoW0la9q
「殿、殿下！您這是在......哇啊！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxapOPBEgTD
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryXoGErfkQ
我還沒反應過來，一搓軟毛再次點上我的額頭時，讓我稍稍嚇了一跳。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzTCjJTBMQ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQylwNRxiI
「哼哼，貓科獸族的尾巴可說是非常靈活的喔。」殿下說道。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHOyXqjWO9
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ84s7qwTP
「獅子尾巴真的好有趣喔。在這裡嗎？嘿，看我抓住它！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXSZsH0TMg
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzOeo9Y4P
「妳沒抓著喔。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JLgLWwVFu
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVQuRHRdpV
「我一定可以抓住的，再來！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2mGDVkmR5

「呵呵、呵呵呵呵......」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuTY9ImbWD

我忍不住放聲笑了出來；我有多久沒像這樣開懷大笑了呢？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrBJWRSusO

儘管雙眼無法看見任何事物，但這還是我第一次用如此親近的方式去感受一件事物......或者我該稱之為，陌生中帶有刺激感呢？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hkrWL7f3p
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHBELHrxhD
刺激？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmweHV4rCZ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWkUDdHltF
這樣的感觸、這樣的形容詞，在隱修院內是絕對體會不到的，我的人生際遇......喔不，至尊陛下對我的安排真是太奇妙了。究竟是誰說看不見的人生是黑暗的呢？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdkSpOfJU
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9u0En1yrz
至少我覺得，我的人生是十分完美而且光鮮亮麗的。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorwfUafSCE

頓時間，我感覺到周圍的修女們都靠了過來。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzeRzZc0UP

「只有海倫娜和殿下玩得不亦樂乎，太不公平了。」安卡修女不滿地說。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t164GPYHO
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx7bZ8ThdV
「對呀！對呀！發放救濟粥也到一個段落了，我們也想要一起玩殿下的尾巴！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0V8IsJi9O
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfAE23xStQ
「也讓我們感受一下那根療育鞭子的觸感吧~」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3XttkefFC

這時我雙手抓住尾巴，將它拉到自己臉頰蹭呀蹭的。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg9gUw4YvI
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3sb2y6mSW
「不行喲，殿下的尾巴是只屬於我的。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpKi4BvRoA

「「「哎~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~」」」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrxorvTbn

奇......奇怪了？我好像說了不太符合自己個性的話......沒關係，就只有今天、今天而已。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2CLkP8Q8

猶如從溫柔母親的懷抱之中踏出第一步，開始真正的接觸這個充滿不確定性的世界。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1NqMmuGk6
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D86aGBEt7
猶如從穩定卻一成不變的隱修院走出來，體驗這個世間的種種苦難與種種幸福。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYkaG5zg4
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHiKERUOta
猶如將原本空無一物的花園重新翻土耕種，期望能從中萌芽新的生命。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzQP7cgv72
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98t9oG10C2
我的內心深處彷彿也在王子殿下——這頭獅子男孩——的影響下，逐漸開出更加多彩的未來與可能性。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw25qK53zPw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPK2YoUIXW
至於這樣的改變究竟是好是壞，未來又會遇見什麼樣的考驗，這一切就交由至尊必下來定奪了。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCXAckkwGn
